“The Millennium Development Goals, particularly the eradication of extreme poverty and hunger, cannot be achieved if questions of population and reproductive health are not squarely addressed. And that means stronger efforts to promote women's rights, and greater investment in education and health, including reproductive health and family planning”.
El Secretario General expresó inequívocamente la importancia de las cuestiones relativas a la población y la salud reproductiva para aliviar la pobreza y lograr los objetivos de desarrollo del Milenio en un mensaje a la Quinta Conferencia sobre Población para Asia y el Pacífico.
